The primary concern of the first academies was to improve the social and professional standing of artists by breaking away from the guild system. Art practitioners sought to redefine and upgrade the status of art from a mechanical art to a liberal art. The status of art was to be on the equally intellectual level as the traditional liberal arts. The status of the artist himself was thus to be elevated from that of a mere craftsman or manual labourer to that of a learned gentleman and scholar. Being independent of guilds also meant that the artist would be able to obtain the royal, ecclesiastical or private patronage directly.

The strategy was to institutionalize artistic education and intellectualize artistic production by introducing the students to the canon (a body of works by renowned masters classed as the best examples of objective beauty by authorities on art) and perpetuate its values. The aspiring artists were to be taught the classical theories of art established during the High Renaissance and to study the works of Old Masters, such as Raphael and Michelangelo. While painting and sculpture had been classified as mechanical arts since antiquity, as they involved manual labour and were taught by practice [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the academies attributed more importance to the theory and scholarship than to practical experience.
During the Renaissance [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], artists were organized within a guild system and, as such, were subject to the strict regulations of their respective guilds. Their professional activities from learning to producing to selling were dependent in every aspect on the specific rules of conduct of a particular guild.
The Academy was a highly hierarchical institution [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], structurally and ideologically. High art was to be produced according to a strict set of theoretical principles and specific practices that were to be distinguished from the craft based artistic production.
The hierarchical system led to the codification of categories of subject-matter that was firmly established by the end of the 17th century. These are as follows:
Hierarchy and Genres
Painting and Sculpture as Liberal Arts
Academic Canon
Academies of art were first established in the sixteenth century as informal groupings of art practitioners seeking to improve their professional status.
